Nerve Flossing
Nerves are dynamic structures that need to be free to move. Injury, muscle tightness around the nerve, inflammation of the nerve itself, or other chronic inflammation can limit that freedom to move. The result is pain due to pressure or tugging on the nerve.
In the arm, nerve irritation can show up as pain, tingling, or numbness in the hand, fingers, or in the arm itself. Here at MassageNetics we can assess your arm symptoms and provide medical massage to reduce nerve irritation if it comes from muscle pressure or other soft tissue problems. Nerve Flossing is a great at-home exercise that we often recommend.
Nerve Flossing movements are gentle actions that move a nerve back and forth without actually stretching the nerve. Check out this link to ChiroUp for some great examples.
